Not to worry, Citizen. Soon, with Ebola coming to your doorstep, you will be stripped naked each and every time you enter a building. And you can be damn sure that we will be monitoring this.

It's time to buff up. Get out of your shop and out to the gym!

A message from your friends.

She is 24. The PedoBear Police will be at your door presently. Please keep your hands above your keyboard.

Well yes, of course. Google likely used a Dromedary Camel as is standard for most uses. Microsoft would have used a Bactrian camel just to be different. That extra hump would have certainly changed the view.

Oops. STOP THE PReSSES!

Oh. Wait.

So have I, along with the majority of drivers in rural America. I'm still working at my first pedestrian in a wheelchair, though.

Indeed.

Camels aren't 'happy' no matter what they are doing or where they are. They are the most mean, cruel and foul tempered ungulates you've ever set eyes on.

It probably got to spit on it's handlers, something you likely have never been able to get away with.

Rule 1: Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself.

Modern wastewater treatment is certainly one of western civilization's major achievements. It cuts down on communicable diseases, enhances human and animal lifetimes and makes the place smell better. However, the technology is perhaps 100 years old at it's core and was never imagined to get rid of the multitude of chemicals that we are currently dumping in the water.

As an AC in a post below this one states "We know that a whole host of chemicals do this, estrogen from birth control pills being just one chemical out of literally hundreds." Some are likely to have noticeable biological effects, others perhaps not. And we certainly have the technology to rid the water of these chemicals, but likely not the political and financial will.

The EPA is constantly changing their requirements for wastewater, typically tightening up on some chemical or another. They are usually hounded left and right when they do that for reasons of economics and politics. Hopefully they can continue doing so, but I'm doubtful of their ability to push for major changes in the current climate (pun intended).

Oh no it doesn't put an end to the 'Oh no it doesn't work crap. Because to do so would require that you believe his methodology. Which is based on a thermal camera sitting out on a desk. No calorimetry involved, no real calculation of heat capacity. Basically total BS.

I got really good at Graffiti. I'm an indifferent typist - 20-30 wpm and could almost keep up with the Palm. The nice thing is I didn't have to look at the (tiny little) screen.

Wow. I might have to switch to an Android phone. I really miss Graffiti.

Now, all of you, off my lawn.

Jeebus:

- They measure 'power output' with a thermal camera in free air - not even the faintest attempt at making a calorimeter.
- Rossi was present at a critical junction in the test 'loading the reactor' (whooo).

The former sounds very, very fishy. You can't measure quantitative thermal output of anything with a thermal camera suspended in a room. A much better method would be to use some sort of calorimeter - something that was enclosed and could measure all of the heat put out by the system.
